Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC)

Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (Fresno EOC) is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the gap to self-sufficiency by providing opportunities and resources. Established in 1965, it is one of the largest Community Action Agencies in the United States, governed by a twenty-four member tripartite Board of Commissioners under the auspices of the EOA of 1964. With an annual budget of approximately $130 million and over 1,200 full- and part-time staff members, Fresno EOC has spent over five decades investing in people to help them become self-sufficient across various facets including education, health care, and human resources. The scope of services provided encompasses a wide range from pre-school education to vocational training, from juvenile and drug abuse counseling to job placement services. Fresno EOC's commitment to social impact and economic development makes it a notable player in the nonprofit sector, serving as a key facilitator in realizing the goals set forth by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964.
